TRIPOLI: A senior UN official has called on the members of Libyan House of Representatives, or Parliament, to set a "new path" for the general elections in the country. "I called for all Parliament members to attend the session, to shoulder their responsibility towards the Libyan people, and to set a new date and a clear path to the elections ... within the timeframe of UN-sponsored Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF), " Williams tweeted after the meeting. "We also discussed the need for the national reconciliation and transitional justice process to accompany the electoral process, " she added. However, the election was postponed indefinitely due to technical and legal issues, according to the High National Elections Commission. The elections are part of a roadmap adopted by the LPDF, with the aim to bring stability in Libya following years of political division and insecurity.
